SyntaxErrors all over the place

[Peter Bengtsson]

Really uncertain how to report this bug but I'll try.
I'm trying to refresh a otherwise working fine product of mine which refreshes fine in zope 2.8.5. This time I'm trying the same product in zope 2.10.5.

The error I get looks something like this:

2007-12-12 16:31:04 INFO Refresh Refreshing product MExpenses
2007-12-12 16:31:04 ERROR Refresh Exception while refreshing MExpenses
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/peterbe/zope/zope2105/Products/RefreshNG/refresh.py", line 213, in performSafeRefresh
    if not performRefresh(jar, productid):
  File "/home/peterbe/zope/zope2105/Products/RefreshNG/refresh.py", line 175, in performRefresh
    r.reload()
  File "/home/peterbe/zope/zope2105/Products/RefreshNG/xreload.py", line 71, in reload
    code = compile(source, filename, "exec")
  File "/home/peterbe/zope/zope2105/Products/MExpenses/Configs.py", line 336

     ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

There is no syntax error in that file. Line 336 is the very last line and it's blank.
Line 71 in xreload.py does this::

 code = compile(source, filename, "exec")

I injected this line just before to get a copy of the read source code:

 open('/tmp/%s' % os.path.basename(filename), 'w').write(source)
 code = compile(source, filename, "exec")

Running them from the /tmp directory with the same Python doesn't work because of the lack of other stuff but at least it doesn't raise a SyntaxError.

Any idea?

The patch is dumb-easy but made all the difference. This is simply a standard Python "limitation":

peterbe@trillian:/tmp $ python2.4
Python 2.4.4 (#2, Apr 12 2007, 21:03:11)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> filename = 'UserCookies.py'
>>> source = open(filename).read()
>>> print str(repr(source))[-50:]
n self._del_usercookie(uid, key)\n '
>>> compile(source, filename, 'exec')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "UserCookies.py", line 29

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> compile(source.strip()+'\n', filename, 'exec')
<code object ? at 0xb79ee120, file "UserCookies.py", line 1>

Interesting. Looks weird as a solution anyway. :/ I'll try to digg up
where this comes from really.
